Standing at the entrance of Ogura Village, Torotaro put down the luggage in his hand, crossed his hands on his waist and shouted, "Owaki! I'm back with Torotaro! ”

"Torotaro is back... I'm back... The loud sound echoed through the mountains and forests, and the snow on the vibrating branches fell down.

"Wang! Wangwang~! ”

The first to respond to them was not their family, but their brother Kitaro.

I saw a red figure rushing out of the snow-covered village like an arrow from the string.

Seeing Bai Chuanfeng and his group from a distance, Rhubarb's running speed increased by a point.

"Wangwang" got close, and Rhubarb went straight to Torataro, standing upright and putting his front paws on Torataro's body as he screamed.

"Haha, Cataro, you are really my brother, and the first person to pick me up is you!"

It should be a dog, Shirakawa Kaede watched Rhubarb stick out his tongue and lick Torotaro's face affectionately, with a burst of disgust.

Torotaro was enjoying it, and hugged Rhubarb before putting down the two dog paws.

The tail behind the big yellow buttocks that landed on the ground wagged and flew up, and Shirakawa Kaede was even worried about whether it would take off if it was any faster.

Rhubarb, who turned his head and was bouncing on the spot, stood upright and turned to Shirakawa Kaede.

"Go, go" Shirakawa Kaede touched its head perfunctorily, and pushed this enthusiastic dog face out. He didn't want to experience its slimy tongue.

Rhubarb whimpered aggrievedly, but after it sniffed its nose, it circled around the two of them excitedly.

Hey! This dog's nose is quite smart. And Torotaro had already laughed, took out a hot dog with the packaging removed from his bag and threw it to it.

With a snap, before Shirakawa Kaede could see the rhubarb chewing, the hot dog had already disappeared.

At this moment, a voice sounded in front of them, and Shirakawa Kaede and Torotaro looked over, and it was their family members who were in the lead. It was followed by a few idlers in the village who watched the excitement.

Since the afternoon, Kazuko has been standing at the entrance of the village from time to time, even when he returns home to be busy with the things at hand, he also looks up at the door from time to time.

Kashiwagi, who had returned to the village early, had already told them that Kaede Shirakawa and Torotaro should be back today.

So when Kazuko heard the faint cry of Torotaro at the entrance of the village, she immediately threw away the wool in her hand and trotted out on the clogs.

Shirakawa Hayato was not at all slower than his wife when he heard the movement, but he slowly slowed down when he was about to approach Shirakawa Kaede.

But Kazuko ignored her and walked quickly in front of Shirakawa Kaede, first glanced at him with red eyes, and then took him into her arms.

"Mother" Bai Chuanfeng patted her back gently, and reluctantly parted from him, and then held Bai Chuanfeng's face with both hands and looked at it carefully, "It's darker." ”

Shirakawa Kaede smiled at his mother, then turned to look at Hayato Shirakawa, who had been silently watching him.

"Father" Shirakawa Kaede walked over and saluted respectfully.

Shirakawa Hayato's lips moved, his eyes were both proud and excited, but finally turned into a bland greeting, "It's dark, it's strong, it's good." ”

Shirakawa Kaede nodded, and then began to greet Torotaro's mother, Miki, and the villagers who were watching the excitement together.

"Xiao Feng, it's amazing. You all have color TVs in your house, but I heard you sent them back from Tokyo? It's unbelievable. ”

"It's worthy of being a college student, this can't be difficult for Xiao Feng at all."

"I heard that Kaede and Torotaro are making a lot of money in Tokyo, and they really deserve to be Tokyo."

"I said that Xiaofeng will become a great writer, you have all the TV, it's better than the village chief's family."

"Stupid, what does the TV have to do with the great writer?"

"You can get a TV set, will the great writer be far away?"

“…”

The disturbing crowd chattered as they walked towards the village.

As he was about to enter the village, Shirakawa Kaede stopped to open his backpack. "Ladies and uncles, these are some small gifts that I brought back from Tokyo, please be polite, and thank you very much for taking care of us this year."

The gifts that Shirakawa Kaede prepared for everyone were basically Western-style sweets, knick-knacks, children's gadgets, and other new things that everyone had never seen before.

Not to mention the tuition fees of Shirakawa Kaede's first year, they all contributed a little more or less. With these, he deserves the courtesy of Shirakawa Kaede.

"Xiao Feng, you're so polite."

"We're all fellow villagers, and it's right to take care of each other."

Everyone was polite, but Shirakawa Kaede still delivered the things to everyone with a smile on his face.

"If you didn't come, I will visit you with Torotaro in turn." Shirakawa Kaede finished scattering the things in his hand and took care of it again.

"Xiao Feng, this kid, is really filial."

"It's not, when I was a child, I said that Xiao Feng must be a person who will do big things in the future."

Everyone took the things, and they all had smiles on their faces, these were things they had never seen in the mountain village, and they were rare and tight.

At this moment, a sloppy middle-aged man rubbed his hands and smiled in front of Torataro, and when he saw Torotaro's bulging backpack, his eyes lit up and he was about to reach out to pick it up.

"What are you doing, let go!" Torotaro turned around and put his backpack behind him, looking at the man opposite viciously.

Seeing that everyone was looking at it, the man's face was hot, and then he raised his palms in shame and anger and was about to fan them.

"Uncle Maruyama!" Kaede Shirakawa walked over briskly and stood between him and Torotaro.

The man named Maruyama is Kaede Shirakawa. He put down his palm in a sneer, but it was the wicked who sued first, "This guy is not filial at all!" ”

Torotaro stepped forward to argue, but was stopped by Shirakawa Kaede's eyes.

"Uncle Maruyama, let's go home and say anything in advance, Torotaro is tired for a day today, and his spirit may not be very good."

Everyone in the village is watching the excitement, and Shirakawa Kaede signals him not to mess with Torotaro here.

Maruyama still has a face somewhat, and glared at Torotaro angrily before flicking his sleeves and walking home.

Smelling the faint smell of wine coming from his body, Shirakawa Kaede frowned, it seems that this New Year's Torotaro is not stable again.

"If there is something to say about Torataro, don't be impulsive, come to me if you really can't do it."

Torotaro nodded with a worried expression, and the aura that had just returned to the village had long since disappeared.

Seeing this, Hayato Shirakawa walked over and patted him on the shoulder. "Don't worry, Torotaro, if it doesn't work, I'll talk to that guy from Maruyama."

"Thank you, Uncle Shirakawa, I see." Saying goodbye to the Shirakawa family, Torotaro picked up his luggage and walked slowly home.

The people around shook their heads when they saw this scene, and everyone knew best what kind of virtue that Maruyama guy had.

Believe it or not, as long as Torotaro is not careful, the contents of his bag will be exchanged for wine money by Maruyama the next day.

In their eyes, at the same age, Shirakawa Kaede and Torotaro grew up playing together. But the family atmosphere of the two and their respective futures are very different, but the two are still very good, which is really strange.

"Let's go back too" The crowd dispersed, and Hayato Shirakawa beckoned his family home.

Kazuko grabbed Shirakawa Kaede's wrist and said with a smile, "I heard Kashiwagi say that you have done a lot of things in Tokyo, and you must talk about it when you go home." ”

"Okay," Shirakawa Kaede nodded with a smile.
